LIVELY TIMES IN PARLIAMENT.
The Irish Question the Cause-A Bit
ter Prospective Fight-Marshall1ng
she Forces for the Conflict.
LONDON, March 21.-The new measures
leading to settlement of the Irish question,
which the government will shortly introduce
and the amendments thereto which the Par
nellites and Liberals are preparing to offer
promise lively times Fin the House of Com
mons after the Easter recess, if not before.
The amendment drafted by Mr.. Morley last
week which was framed with the object of
embarrassing much as possible the Radical
Unionists by placing them in false, not to
say untenable position, has met the approval
of Mr.. Gladstone. Sir William Harcourt and
other leaders including, of course, Mr.. Morley
himself, and the possibility that many of
their radical allies will abstain from voting
upon, is realized and admitted by prominent
Tories. Lord Harrington is aware of all this
and the fact that he has signifed his approx
al of the plans of the government is regarded
as indicating his conviction that he will be
able 30 hold large majority of his followers
to his views and array them upon the side of
the Tories in final divisions upon amend
ments or bills concerning the government of
Ireland. 1t is now certain that the discus
sion of Mr.. Morleys amendment will occupy
the time of the House for three OF four nights
and possibly longer, and it is equally certain
that Mr.. Gladstone will be one of the de
baters. Urgent whips have been issued to
all parties and it is safe to say that every
member not confined to his bed will
be in his seat when his
vote is needed. The nationalist
members and large majority of the
Gladstonians present a united front and &C
eording to programme as at present outlined,
will oil at
stage of such legislation, even to the extent
of demanding division upon the routine
motion asking permission to introduce bill.
Mr.. William Henry Smith, first Lord of the
treasury, is authority for the statement that
the government will at an early date present
to the house its land proposals, but as he
gives no definite time for their presentation
it is surmised that it is the intention to deal
with coereive measures before introducing
the law bill. This will not be an easy
matter the Gladstonians and Par
nelIites are resolved not to allow
the question of coercion to be intro
duced until the land question has been dis
posed of. The Irish Tory members are in
dignant over the gentle treatment Father
Keller is receiving at Kilmainham Jail and
demand to know why partially is shown to
him and privileges allowed which are de-
MED other prisoners. Foremost among the
things the Orange members complain of are
the facts that father Keller is permitted to
have servant; that his friends are allowed
to visit him and that the reverend prisoner
buys his own food, instead of being COM
PEELED to eat prison fare. These things, they
say, are not obtainable under the rules gov
erning the Imprisonment of a frst-class mis-
demeanant, which they claim Father Keller
is, and they insist that he shall be treated as
a law breaker and not as honored guest
LONDON, March 21.-In the House of Com
mons this afternoon Mr.. Arthur J. Balfour,
chief secretary for Ireland, intimated that ne
would introduce to morrow for the consider
atien of the House bill making better pro
vision for the prevention and punishment of
crime in Ireland. In reply to question Sir |
John Gorsr, under secretary for India stated |
that the report that British corps of obser-
walton was being formed at Pisheen was I'M
true. The government bad no reason to be- |
ieve that Russia entertained any designs |
looking to the invasion of Afghanistan. Lord |
Georgs Hamilton first lord of the admiralty |
announced that new rules would shortly be |
issued to the dock yard authorities defining |
the limit of their issuing infor nation con- |
corning British naval affairs. w. H. Smith |
gave notice of the introduction of a motion |
by the government that the proposed Irish |
crimes bill shall have precedence over all |
orders of the day. Mr.. John Morley gave |
notice that he would introduce an amend |
ment to Mr.. Smiths resolution to the effect |
thatsthe House decline to set aside business |
in favor of a measure increasing the strin- |
gency of the law in Ireland while no effec- |
tive security was offered against the abuse |
of law or the exaction of excessive rents. Mr.. |
Morley's announcement was received with |
loud cheers by the Irish members.
